KAWS ist einer der bekanntesten zeitgenössischen Künstler, dessen Einfluss weit über die Kunstwelt hinausgeht, in Mode, Musik und Popkultur. Begonnen als Graffiti-Künstler in den 1990er Jahren, umfasst sein Werk Malerei, Skulptur, Zeichnung, Produktdesign und Augmented Reality. Dieses reich illustrierte Buch bietet eine umfassende Studie über sein Leben und Schaffen.
Während seiner ganzen Laufbahn als Künstler, Filmemacher, Leiter seiner Factory, Bandmanager, Magazinverleger und Fernsehunternehmer verwischte Andy Warhol ganz bewusst die Grenze zwischen Kunst und Kommerz und stellte die eigentlichen Werte der Kunst infrage, indem er behauptete: 'Ein gutes Geschäft ist die beste Kunst'. Andy Warhol Enterprises untersucht Warhols komplexes und facettenreiches Verhältnis zum Kommerz sowohl in seiner Arbeit als auch in seinem Leben — von seiner sehr erfolgreichen Karriere als Werbegrafiker bis hin zu seiner Rolle als bedeutender kultureller Trendsetter in den 1980er-Jahren. Die Publikation beinhaltet Essays namhafter Wissenschaftler wie Thomas Crow sowie ein Interview mit Vincent Fremont, einem von Warhols vertrautesten Mitarbeitern. Fremont war Studiomanager und Vizepräsident von Andy Warhol Enterprises und beleuchtet die Aspekte von Warhols kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit der Konsumgesellschaft.

Four Decades of Art from the Broad Collections
Jasper Johns to Jeff Four Decades of Art from the Broad Collections, organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is the first large-scale exhibition of the Broads' achievement, presenting more than 100 works of art from these two significant collections.

German artists such as George Baselitz and Anselm Kiefer are also represented. Together, these works form an invaluable record of the artistic achievements of the past forty years.This catalogue, published in conjunction with the exhibition, illustrates the objects in the exhibition as well as several related works from the Broad collections. The accompanying texts include an interview with Eli and Edythe Broad by exhibition curators Stephanie Barron and Lynn Zelevansky, as well as essays by art historians Thomas Crow, Sabine Eckmann, Joanne Heyler, and Pepe Karmel, which place the works in critical and historical context.
The Salon of 1765 and Notes on painting
The 18th-century French philosopher Denis Diderot - author of idiosyncratic fictional works such as "Jacques the Fatalist" and "Rameau's Nephew" - is also considered by many to have been the first great art critic. This two-volume edition makes his art-critical texts available in English.
Thomas Crow's analysis of the art of the 1960s remains as fresh as ever as he expertly follows the broad range of artists working in Europe and America in the stormy years of the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the counterculture. At a time when visual artists sought a variety of responses to the turmoil of the public sphere and struggled to have an impact on a world preoccupied with social crisis, Crow explores the relationship of politics to art, and shows how the rhetoric of one often informed - or subverted - the other. He also traces the emergence of a new aesthetic climate that challenged established notions of content, style, medium and audience.
